The Heartless Alpha and His Banished Luna
Chapter 4
Damian
After sending Colter and Easton off to Hungary three days ago, I still haven't received any word from them as of at this moment.
It would only take a few hours for me to get an update when I sent warriors and one of them in the past, but things had changed recently, and the situation was growing increasingly frustrating.
Why in the hell are they taking so much longer?
Even Murphy was not showing any signs of slowing down. Instead, he kept stirring inside me. It had gotten to the point where he was more impatient than I was, and because of this, it was dangerous for me to be around anyone at this point because I could wind up killing someone.
My mental health was deteriorating in this way as a direct result of Murphy's conduct. I was in a very angry state all the time, and Nyra's presence did nothing to calm me down.
She has evolved into a real pain in the behind these days. She warned me over and over again that reuniting Clover with the pack would be disastrous, but I simply did not have the emotional or physical capacity to deal with her at this time.
I couldn't care less if she went on a rant for as long as she liked since I wouldn't give a damn about it.
What exactly did she know about being in the front of the pack?
The Murphy hissed, and he was absolutely correct. She did nothing but flaunt her rank and used it as an opportunity to draw attention to herself. She was both unqualified and qualified for the role at the same time.
Simply put, I required her to be my luna as part of the terms of our agreement, which demand for us to do more than just become mates. I was obligated to keep this information to myself in order to preserve my position among the pack.
Having said that, she needed to have the understanding that throwing a tantrum was not going to bring her anything she desired, regardless of how much she cried about it.
For us to make progress and have heirs in the future, Nyra only needed to understand that bringing back Clover was essential to our success.
In addition, if she wanted to earn my mark for us to become genuine mates, she was going to have to enroll in the program.
Another hour passed, and I was still in the dark about what was going on, so I began walking back and forth across my office floor. Even though they haven't been able to locate her just yet, I instructed Colter to check in with me periodically and give me a call.
Even though I had no reason to be anxious, I was feeling it anyhow. They had to perform a miracle in order to bring her back to us because there wasn't much time left and we were running out of it.
We were given a maximum of five days to look for Clover by the pack that was in command of the region, and they made it very clear that they would not assist us in our search efforts in any way.
Although I believed that they could have been more flexible, the situation was what it was.
When the phone finally rang, I was so annoyed that I was about to toss it out of frustration. However, I didn't hesitate to answer it right away in the hopes that it would be the news I had been anticipating all along.
"Yeah?" I quickly responded out of impatience.
Colter heaved a sigh as he said, "We have an issue."
"You have a problem?! What do you mean by that?!!"
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, the anger spread throughout my entire body and caused me to shake. I had to take a few deep breaths in order to stop myself from moving and going insane several times.
After injuring one of our soldiers, she was able to evade capture and make her escape. After Colter had finished explaining, I completely lost it.
"You had one job! There was only ever going to be one of her, but there were five of you. What the hell is going on, Colter?" I yelled out a few commands after giving a roaring roar.
We were werewolves, for screaming out loud; therefore, even if she managed to get away, it shouldn't be too difficult to track her down and bring her back.
"Text me your precise fucking location and don't leave until I tell you to!" "Don't leave until I tell you to!"
I did not want an answer from him, so I simply hung up the phone, and without giving anything else much thought, I went straight to find my father.
I had never gone more than a short distance away from the pack, with the exception of times when I was abroad on official business; even then, it was only in the regions that were close by.
However, if this continued, it seemed like I would have no choice except to fly to Hungary and handle things on my own.
As I entered their home, the first thing I said was, "Father."
"Damian, what brings you to this place?" My dad questioned me as he set the book he was reading down on the table beside him. "What do you think?"
"I'll be going to Hungary at the same time as Colter and Easton. They were not successful in dealing with Clover "I proceeded to explain without missing a beat.
It wasn't because Colter and Easton were unable to do it; if that were the case, I wouldn't have chosen them to be my beta and gamma, would I?
It's possible that Richard Moore was just too much for everyone to handle, especially considering that, whether or not any of us admitted it, she was a formidable warrior. She did not rely just on her physical prowess but instead utilized her intelligence far more than anything else.
It's possible that another factor, namely the fact that Colter used to get along well with her, prevented him from inflicting pain on her just for the sake of bringing her back with them.
Do you know of any other people that shared her circle of friends with her? You!
The screams and taunts from Murphy caused me to take a few deep breaths and repeat the process so that I could concentrate on my father and the words I was about to say.
My father cast a thoughtful glance in my direction, most likely to ascertain whether or not I was being serious. He was aware that I was dealing with a lot of pressure and a sufficient amount of troubles already.
He was aware of what Murphy had been up to ever since Clover had left, and despite how much I detested it, I was starting to feel like a major failure as a result of it.
"Do you seriously believe that reintroducing her to the mix would improve things for you?" Finally, my father put in the request.
"No, but it's definitely something worth trying."
As soon as he heard these comments, he gave a shake of the head and stood to come closer to me. Even though he was one inch shorter than me, my father was just as strong as any other alpha that had ever lived.
Even though he no longer possessed the obligations of the alpha position or the position itself, he was still seen to be just as authoritative within the pack as I was.
"I can empathize with how difficult things are for you right now, and I wish I could go back in time and change some things. Nevertheless, for what it's worth, I hope everything works out for the best in the end "Before he left me alone to think about what he had said, he stated in a collected manner.
He was aware that something was about to take place, but in the manner of a parent who had taught me how to become self-reliant and how to think creatively, he wanted me to sort things out on my own.
"What on earth does that even imply?" I attempted to question him, but he had already disappeared from view.
I was aware that we had reached the conclusion of our conversation, and as a result, I rushed straight back to my house to get the things I required before going to see Clover's parents.
Despite the fact that they were unaware of Clover's precise whereabouts, it was clear that they maintained communication with her. That didn't even cross my mind because I'm not nearly as barbaric as some people are.
Clover would not provide any information, not even in response to my threats to murder them or expel them from the premises.
She was fully aware of the fact that doing something like that to her parents would put me in an awkward situation with my own parents, and by awkward situation, I mean that I would be expelled myself.
Since Clover wasn't actually expelled, I lacked the authority to issue similar directives to her parents unless they had seriously violated an established policy. In that case, I would have been justified.
I guess all I wanted to know was whether or not Clover had gotten in touch with them today, and that was the reason I was headed there in the first place.
I didn't give a damn about the possibility that they might tell her that I was on my way to see her. Even if she made an effort to cover up her odor, I would still be able to pick it up readily as long as we were in the same nation, city, or general vicinity.
"What the devil do you think you're doing?" Before I could make it out the door, Nyra let out a screech.
I responded without looking at her and said, "Hungary, for business."
"Business? And you didn't even thought to tell me about it or extend an invitation for me to accompany you?" She inquired with a snide tone.
The answer that I gave in a low voice was, "If I needed you to come, then I would've invited you already."
She let out an acerbic chuckle as she asked, "Oh, I'm sorry, but since when is alpha allowed to make choices without his luna?"
As soon as I realized what she was doing, I spun around and got in her face. My nose began to itch. Right then and there, I had the strong want to suffocate her.
In point of fact, I've had the want to suffocate her for some time now, but it's not because of some sort of sexual fetish. I have seriously been debating whether or not I should disconnect her breathing apparatus in order to get her to be quiet.
"I want to make sure you understand this, Nyra. You may be the luna, but I hadn't marked you as my mate just yet, so please just sit here and look nice while I take care of the business that needs to be taken care of "I growled at her before turning my back on her and walked away.
She teased me by saying, "I won't be here when you come back," and in response, I let out a frightening laugh.
"Nyra, does this constitute yet another danger? Be sure that you can back up what you say with actions, you fearless luna "I responded with taunts of my own just because I couldn't help myself.
Because of the fact that she has always been a whiny and needy bitch, I didn't feel the need to sugarcoat whatever it was that it was that I wanted to say at this point.
If she had been sufficiently intelligent, then she would have realized that I was doing this for the benefit of us and the pack as a whole.
"Oh, I will, Damian. If I'm still here when you get back, I'll definitely come up with something even more intricate to make you furious, just in case I haven't already!"
I didn't bother answering; instead, I jumped into my truck, slammed the door, and drove off without turning around. I didn't even bother to look back.
